Kim Lewis is the founder of Kim Lewis Design in Austin, Texas, and Los Angeles. According to Vagabond, Lewis, known as "The Vagabond Designer," has taken to designing buildings that speak to clients' "roots, . . . wings . . . and purpose." One of the byproducts of her new designs is the home below, designed for the co-founders of Window to the Wild.

Co-founders Lindsey and Simon McNeny train wildlife so that people can interact with it and develop a love and respect for it. They incorporate interactive wildlife displays into man's concrete jungle in an attempt to create an increased awareness of the wildlife constantly surrounding mankind. The McNenys hired Lewis to design a tiny home for them that reflected their love for wildlife and birds. The end result is "The Perch" in Texas.

Vagabond points out that the outside was covered in reclaimed wood from a house that was slated to be demolished. The wood was placed on in a random pattern after the fashion of a bird building its nest.

Everything from the outside of the house to the tiniest details inside the house was planned out by Lewis and Vagabond Design. Lewis' desire to reflect the personality if her client in the building she designed is clearly seen in "The Perch."
